(1a) KING MUFASA has been razor sharp winning five out of six starts on the season and will be very tough to beat. (2) SEMPER FIT nice-looking trotter is making his third start back off a layoff and appears to be primed for a good effort.

Race 3

(8) BADGER QUINN gelding lays over the field on paper after some solid qualifiers; short price. (2) R DUNESHINE two-year-old has put in two good starts and has been improving every time on the track. (10) FOX VALLEY DEUCE freshman pacer is saddled with the worst post but did kick home nicely in his first career start.

Race 4

(3) FLYING HIGH will offer a big price in a wide open and evenly matched field. Well bred trotter has a good chance if he stays trotting. (2) FOX VALLEY LEGEND is 0 for 14 on the year but has put in some good efforts when raced up front close to the pace. (7) SUNBONNET SUE well bred filly will probably take a lot of tote action and should be considered the horse to beat.

(5) REVOLUTIONARY gelding also just missed last out and has been racing gamely since being put in for a tag.

Race 8

(2) KATE THE GREAT mare faces much easier competition than what she's been facing and owns a good late kick; threat. (6) METIS BLUE CHIP mare has a bunch of positives going for her. Five-year-old drops in class and makes her third start back off a long layoff. (7) KISS ON THE LIPS three-year-old faces older and has shown improvement for the new trainer.

Race 9

(6) TRIGGER HAPPY HERO gelding is a live long shot who was used multiple times last out and shuffled out of it before charging hard late.

Race 10
